This bell killed a man forty years ago, while spinning during a peal "a vuelo" (ringing all the bells as fast as possible). In punishment, the clapper was removed and the bell was renamed "La castigada" (The punished) so as not to dishonor the saint whose name it previously bore. When the Pope proclaimed a jubilee in 2000, the bell was exorcised, the clapper replaced, and now it rings with the others, but the name remains.
In the center top, the ruins of the main temple of Tenochtitlán. In the foreground, one of the structural buttresses.
